Use this calculator to estimate the running cost of household electrical appliances. Simply enter the appliance wattage and the number of hours it is used each week then press “calculate”.

The appliance wattage is usually listed on a label attached to the appliance or can be obtained from the product manufacturer.  If you are unable to find it, see Energy Australia's list of Typical Household Appliance Wattages.

Note: This calculator is not suitable for thermostat controlled appliances such as refrigerators, ovens, air conditioners or column heaters (fan and oil).
